Matchbox 23d; Trailer Caravan; Pink White, Fine Tread BPW
This is one I spent my pocket money on as a child, at the North Lonsdale
Agricultural Show, probably in 1965 or 1966. I bought it together with
the Pontiac GP, a fine pairing I thought, sadly both are long gone.
It was released in 1965 as a regular wheels toy. It was never converted
to Superfast wheels but was replaced in 1970 by a new version of the VW
Camper van which was Superfast from the start. There are two colour
variations, pink & white or yellow & white. The prize is yellow with
fine tread grey plastic wheels, this is quoted in Ramsey in four
figures. The yellow with knobbly plastic wheels gets the lowest
valuation. It can also be found with smooth tread and knobbly tread
black plastic wheels. With these the box is key to value with E3 type
boxes quoted as the best price. |
